100% agreed with you. Just bought few months ago the previous version. I can confirmed that the previous version, looks much much better!!! And mote agressive 💪💪💪
@@NB-yc1ro the only thing this one has on that one is the performance and thats always subjective. Performance cars are just becoming tech fest piles of shit these days. A numbers game -_- sad
@@Dave-us5fq you should get the new one if you like it. Its true, the new one looks slightly nicer inside from the tablet. But its impossible to use whilst driving. The rest is the same. Me i bought my RS4 in October last year and i couldn't wait 3 months more to get the facelift. However, i really do prefer the previous look. More agressive with this front blade and the previous front light. Besides, its a wonderful engine, a LOT of torque everywhere and the brake are impressive. No need to speak about handling which is superbe! If i had to buy an RS 4 today, i would buy the RS5 sportback. Looks meaner and less féminine on the front. Matter of taste. Up to you 😉
@@stefanfreestylez hi i m not sure to get the beginning of your point. Its exactly the same engine and perf. There is No difference. That, Being said, tes they always fight for the number. About the facelift, its a matter of taste. This RS4 was a dream for me, i worked hard, and i bought it and i enjoy every single minute in it. Next step the RS6 or M5 in 1 year 😊 Have a nice day
I had one of the previous generation RS4's. The 4.2 NA V8. Which revved to 9,000rpm and was the original engine in the R8 and prior to that was in a Lamborghini and it sounded AMAZING. I also preferred the look of the previous generation RS4. BUT, it had 444 bhp and 430NM. So it actually had LESS torque than the S4 from that era (which was my previous car and had 440NM.). Popping the torque up to 620NM... That has got to change things... A LOT!
on one level I agree - I've found it hard to move from an R8 V10+ to an RS4 for obvious power reasons. But, on another level, the more power you have, the worse your economy, and these things matter in the world today. Driven hard, this car is not a huge amount better than the R8 for fuel economy. If you want to use all 450 horses, you will pay for them!
Audi GmbH is CRAZY for NOT selling the absolutely gorgeous RS4 Avant in America... I hate Audi for that!!! I love watching your videos dude (especially the Audi videos)! Thank you 🙏 for your awesome content dude!!
Absolute sweet spot if you need more room than the rs3 hatchback version. Better residuals over a rs7 as long as you don't tick every box and care about money. And I prefer this interior over the dual touchscreen on most of them now
James, I am so, so jealous! It's been a huge dream of my to set foot on every continent, in my lifetime... and for Africa, the very 1st place I'll go is Marrakesh; where I'm dying to go rock climbing in the Atlas mountains! (Were the Atlas mountains as gorgeous as I've seen in pics?) But on top, you get to drive my fav Audi, the baby RS4 to the big boy RS6 - always seemed to be just the right size, to my mind. Great video n' B roll; Cheers!
Agility and lightness...that s the point man...I'm recently totally on these points....power and torque achieved in general are incredible...but the pleasure of driving and usability are about lightness...definitely
For most of the car enthusiast population this would be all that you need. Sport when you need it, but still provides a comfort and practicality that is paramount for a daily. I love that colour as well, oh and your backdrop for the video is on point!! Be safe :)
I think the RS6 looks alot meaner and the V8 sounds so good but honestly I'm pretty sure you can make like 530 hp pretty easily in the RS4 with some upgrades, and its 30 grand/pounds less
I think your reviews are really brilliant. I always think there's a chap I could have a beer with, very funny and bloody interesting. The camera work on this review wasn't very good, the car doesn't look as sharp as it should have, don't know what camera you were using but didn't work correctly. You have done so much better before, sorry mate, but content 11/10 camera work a 5/10, guess I wouldn't be getting that invite to the pub then.
It looks absolutely stunning and amazing. Everything in my eyes is perfect, the only thing I think is a shame, is that the "cabin sound" now sounds worse than the previous "non"facelift model, i know the sound is "fake" but NOW it sounds even worse AND more fake to me ;/
I love the RS range... The fact they are high powered station wagons make them more appealing. Wow can't believe you got through to Marrakesh with all the Corona Virus travel restrictions.
Just seen the new RUF Rodeo concept!!! You have got to get behind the steering wheel of one of those. It's like STG's round the world 911 but on steroids. Coolest car so far this year for me.......
8:20 i have the exact same reasoning, i have an a6 allroad 320hp, i just moved from belgium to the UK, will now swap it for a a4 allroad, maybe an rs4. i find my a6 allroad a bit too bulky for the uk, let alone a rs6. uk roads are fun and beautiful, but also small, you just have to be much more cautious driving a fat car in the UK which would mean less fun.
Will this be the last RS4 with that engine & will it be replaced with a turbo 4 when its replacement comes out in a few years time? BTW is that the same car that Rory Reid got a puncture with when he went on his own excursion.
What a fantastic car! And so nice that we are finally getting the RS Avant in America again! My only concern....it seems a bit big. I can't get tell if that's a good thing or not. But it's a car that covers all bases....sounds great, beautiful aesthetically, carries the whole clan and hauls a##! A car for all occasions! Thanks James.
6 minutes in and I’ve had to watch the advert for the Renault Zoe 3 times. I’d love to see what the rest of this video is like but its just not worth it.
@@Sothisismidlife thanks good to know. I think the new RS7 now has haptic feedback touchscreen but it's lower down. The stuck on screen feels more like an afterthought rather than a nice smooth integrated design. I would hope the next RS5 has a screen lower down or slides away.
A guy in my office building just bought an RS5 in this color. It’s epic. Looks REALLY good in person.
This will be an absolute winner for Audi James, great packaging and a sweet engine, practicality is excellent too. Ideal
I get why people like the rs6 but for me it's to big and bulky, the 4 is sleek and better proposition.
Abt tune and it beats the RS6 anyway
The
Love the color, looks like the green on the Sport Quattro.
Sonoma green ?
Am I the only one who doesn't like this facelift? I think the outgoing version looked a lot more aggressive...
100% agreed with you.

Nick I did prefer the pre-facelift. One of my best friends had one, absolute weapon of a car but the facelift has started to grow on me quite a bit

Wow! I've never seen a car with LED headlights in the back 3:40 . That IS truly special.
Love the new RS4, RS5 and RS6. Audi is doing great on the RS lineup

Mr jww we need some TDF content
Is that woodpecker sound your camera mount vibrating? Very irritating..... But great presentation of a great car.... Beautiful in that colour too.
Woodpeckers in Marrakesh; who knew?
@@dkendr6793 didn't consider location.... Perhaps its a thing! 😂
Marcus Latuske-Hearl ---- probably water bottle rattling in cup holder
So the forth generation only with 444bhp ? Should of been at least 500bhp by now
B5 20 years ago had 380bhp

I think I prefer the face of the previous RS4 Avant, but the rear end of this facelift looks better.

Nice to see that the RS4 is still good, The S4 Diesel was horrible
My dream car. This, living in the UK and having a baby, like I do, would be my perfect 1 car garage

I would have the RS4 over the 6 all day long 👌🏻 that colour as well! Shes lovely
In my Opinion the RS6 and RS7 are the coolest RS models but I still love this one 👍 Great video, love the channel!
Are the gear paddles changed? From plastic to metal?
Agility and lightness...that s the point man...I'm recently totally on these points....power and torque achieved in general are incredible...but the pleasure of driving and usability are about lightness...definitely
So stay away from this then because its 1790kg! When did that become light?
dagnut just vs RS6 I mean...😅
Why do they even have an infotainment screen? The gauge area does everything already...
yep, this screens are stupid, imo...
For most of the car enthusiast population this would be all that you need. Sport when you need it, but still provides a comfort and practicality that is paramount for a daily. I love that colour as well, oh and your backdrop for the video is on point!! Be safe :)
Still my favorite audi interior even compared with the current dual screen ones
I think the RS6 looks alot meaner and the V8 sounds so good but honestly I'm pretty sure you can make like 530 hp pretty easily in the RS4 with some upgrades, and its 30 grand/pounds less
“Headlights at the rear”? Shouldn’t that be “Rear light cluster”?
Andrew Gibbs tail lights
The same cake with the same flavor more like, I like the old one better.
Absolutely agree, such a great package :D
Welcome to Morocco ❤️❤️
For me the perfect RS. Rs6 looks more spectacular but for UK this is just right. Size, engine, the lot.
Hey JWW, i'm super glad you got to travel out to Morocco to review this car for us all to view. Stay safe out there with all the travelling right now.
That green looks amazing
It’s crazy how the facelift is slower than the previous rs4 b9
how this channel doesn’t have 2mil subs is mind boggling
Wish they would also bring the to the US instead of just the RS6. Awesome video once again James!
drove one today and really liked it, not sure if i'd have it over the rs6 but i know what you mean the 6 does feel quite big when you are in town
Your previous RS4 video was one of my favourites. The facelifted car looks great too !
Lots of happy birds in the background.
I like the previous gen exterior styling better. Also hate the touchscreen.

Would love to see rs4 wagon in the usa . We had a4 all track or all road. It's a a4 wagon but it has a 2.0L turbo.
Sweet car,Don’t 4get the RS4 is the original mainstream RS car. The 5,6,7 etc..come after
Generally i love your reviews but lately you do not show us the interior of the car in much detail.
I love the RS range... The fact they are high powered station wagons make them more appealing. Wow can't believe you got through to Marrakesh with all the Corona Virus travel restrictions.
I wish we got this in the US
X2
AUDI MUST ADD A REAR BRAKE LIGHT BAR ON THE NEW RS6!!!!! JUST WERE THE BLACK STRIP IS......AND ITS GONNA LOOK AMAZING!!!!
Just seen the new RUF Rodeo concept!!! You have got to get behind the steering wheel of one of those. It's like STG's round the world 911 but on steroids. Coolest car so far this year for me.......
hope this can come to the usa
Good review, but the number of adverts is getting annoying and spoils the viewing somewhat.
Audi, bring the RS4 to North America!!
This car is 🔥💥🔥💥🔥💥 I want one in Daytona Grey!
8:20

Could an RS4 be exported to the US? Asking for a friend 👀
These audi RS estates are the only estate i'd love to own. Very cool.
Back to the thome brown sunglasses? Waiting on the jww sunglasses!
Will this be the last RS4 with that engine & will it be replaced with a turbo 4 when its replacement comes out in a few years time? BTW is that the same car that Rory Reid got a puncture with when he went on his own excursion.
Please do a comparison with the C63s estate, would love to know your opinion
MRJWW AS ALWAYS ON MISSION AWSOME CONTENT KEEP UP THE WORK
This is one car I could justify selling a few watches to get in to.
What a fantastic car! And so nice that we are finally getting the RS Avant in America again! My only concern....it seems a bit big. I can't get tell if that's a good thing or not. But it's a car that covers all bases....sounds great, beautiful aesthetically, carries the whole clan and hauls a##! A car for all occasions! Thanks James.
This is the RS4. It's not that big. The RS6 Avant is the big one.
Nothing beats a purple RS6
6 minutes in and I’ve had to watch the advert for the Renault Zoe 3 times. I’d love to see what the rest of this video is like but its just not worth it.
unfortunately doesnt have the dual clutch transmission and 5cylinder from the RS3 and doesnt have the rumbling V8 from the RS6.
Stunning review n location James. Tkcare bro👍🏻🙏🏻
i miss my B7 rs4......
So what is/was project 5 ? I didn't understand anything !
Beautiful car. Magical landscape. Brilliant video.
This definitely looks like a step from the boffins over in the design dept. brilliant engineering and aesthetics
What’s the price difference between the 4 and the 6?
James, are you doing a video of your time with the RS7?
Brilliant car. Looks stunning in that green!
Are the air ducts next to (in) the front and rear headlights real?
Nope there fake!
Where is the Signature Mr.JWW intro montage ?.? ☹
Just realised you have 528k subs and 528 videos. Quite a coincidence!
Great review... will it be available in the US?
no
Great content. Love the channel
I share your opinion. It is better than the RS6. It makes more sense
Looks like a mini RS6 👍🏻
Brilliant video as always.
Why can't these come to the US!!!
Skol a beer every time James mentions "Design language". I had better run this idea up the flagpole first though right?
Excellent video as ever
If I could I'd buy this and the previous v8 model at the same time 😂....... And maybe the rs6 v10 model too
The RS4 never had a V10. Only the C6 S6 and RS6. Not much else can be made to scream like a C6 S6 (N/A) with a proper exhaust system.
@@ArKritz84 my bad you're right lol
@@brethren111 I still wouldn't want one, though. That C6 Multicreak suspension...
Hey James does the centre multimedia screen fold away?
Timmo Lo no it’s static
@@Sothisismidlife thanks good to know. I think the new RS7 now has haptic feedback touchscreen but it's lower down. The stuck on screen feels more like an afterthought rather than a nice smooth integrated design. I would hope the next RS5 has a screen lower down or slides away.
I love the color I love it
If you do the maths. BHP/£ the RS3 and RS4 are better value.. so agree..
So you're saying that a lighter car is more engaging to drive? Interesting...
PLEASE DO RS7 VIDEO ASWELL
Can we get it in Canada?
Anyone else think he had kidnapped a woodpecker?
0:33 in... this marvellous machine.. sounded just like Rimmer of Red Dwarf 🤣
Small thing but... those fake vents at the edge of the headlight are horrible.
Audi still places engines in front of the front struts.... Never achieving same roadholding manners as the BMW
I prefer the prefacelifted version, this one looks more feminine.
I wish it had a more exciting engine besides the V6. Other than that, it is the sweet spot.
P Herron this V6 is a lot more exciting than the previous V8 I can tell you I had both
@@joelion8766 I understand. I'm just tired of V6s. I have a twin turbo V6 now. I just want another noise. LOL
2:54 took me some time to get that you were saying Vorsprung
Is it better than C6 RS6?
Bring this to Canada Audi
Dual clutch would ruin this car. Yea be faster shifting but destroyed the luxury experience in comfort mode
